insulation between rear seat back and trunk - remove, keep or replace?

[paradigm]

Is this insulation mounted between the back of the rear seat and the trunk useful? It feels like its been soaked in liquid and is old / crunch and has holes in it - I want to tear it down. Is there something else I can put in it's place?

Can get it new repop

For sure. Grab a new re-pop. You won't regret it. I happen to have my interior blown apart, so can post a pic of mine. This is a new style one.

If you go without you'll absolutely hate it because it's MUCH louder. The insulation helps a lot for the winter/ cold mornings too. You really, really want to have something there.

Don't forget it'll help with the A/C to keep things cool.

You may also want to think about installing a rear seat brace while everything is apart.

I did my own b

race (the thin bar stock) as well as cut my own insulation. It is held in place againt the braces by plastic hood insulation push pins. Dont leave the stuff ou, your noise from the trunk will drive ya nuts!
